Recently, I got a Rumble of Ancient Times by SOMA. It’s an interesting synth. All of the things made by SOMA are intriguing, the ROAT just happens to be the most accessible at the moment.
I love little synths and hardware tools, but something I read about the ROAT really attracted my attention.
We live in an age where text editors can be 1GB or more and simple things like checking email require the latest OS and powerful processing, despite the core tasks being no different than 15 years ago with a fraction of the computational power.

I love this kind of thinking and it made me think a little bit about the connection between ecology and the hardware instruments that we use. On the sound front, I took longer to decide.
To be honest, most of the videos that I had seen were of harsh and unstructured noise. Not that I dislike that, but I was curious about the range of ROAT. So, I decided that I would create 30 short videos exploring the ROAT. Below is the first of 30 and you’ll be able to see others on my YouTube channel: Hammer_and_Circuit.
